Reduced Mobility

Reduced Mobility means those people with physical disabilities, speech, hearing or sight limitations and those with mental health problems. It also includes the elderly and parents with young children.

The Company supports access and assistance for reduced mobility passengers wherever practicable and safe. However when the vessels were built they were never designed specifically to accommodate such passengers. Furthermore the design and provenance of the vessels does not lend to adaptation.

1. Passengers with any special needs where appropriate be accompanied by a personal carer.
2. The Skipper and Crew where possible will make every reasonable effort to assist reduced mobility and special needs passengers.
3. Where the Skipper considers that such passengers may be at risk in an emergency situation then the Skipper has the right to refuse passage.

All passengers will have to embark and disembark using steps and a handrail.
